Main Event (18,500 PHP)

The action is folded to the blinds where Makoto Miyatake of Japan limps in and India’s Anju Abrol checks her option in the BB.

The unraised pot sees a flop of 2♣ 9♥ 7♦ as Miyatake leads out for 200 and gets called. The turn is the 5♣ and this time, both players check. The river is the 8♥ and this time, the Japanese player fires 1,000 and gets raised to 3,000 by Abrol. Miyatake chooses to call.

Abrol turns over J♦ T♣ for the nut straight while Miyatake shows the 6♥ for a lower straight before throwing his hand into the muck.

Early action folds to Guam’s James Bonnano who raises from the D to 200 and gets the blinds to call.

The flop is K♥ 6♦ 4♣ as the blinds check. Bonnano continues for 300 and gets a call from the SB Japan’s Makoto Miyatake. The BB folds. It is Heads-Up to the turn where the 2♥ comes. This time, Miyatake takes the betting lead for 600. Bonnano calls. The river is the 7♣ and now, Miyatake checks. The Guam native then fires 1,000 but gets check-raised to 3,800. Bonnano gives it a think—for almost a full minute—then decides to make the call.

Miyatake tables 8♥ 4♦ for bottom pair on the flop as Bonnano turns over K♦ 2♦ for two pairs on the turn. He just wanted to think about it.
